I noticed a shock on my last month's huge phone bill. I have a metered VOIP phone service (V**age) connected to the DVR. All has been good for the last 1.5 years. It was calling in 1-2x/week and for PPV. After the last software upgrade on my R15-300 DVR to version 0x123E it started calling...

Are there any channels on Directv where the SMPTE "color bars" test screen (standard definition) is consistently available on Directv (or I can DVR it)? I have the proper blue filter, but can't find my test DVD. Also, I think it is best to set the color from the actual source you want to...

I have a D*tv remote (RC64) with my system. I picked up an OTA adapter (Digital Stream DTX9900) with my government coupon, because I can't get my locals (very low angle to satellite with LOS issues -- trees) from D*tv. Has anybody got one of these boxes to programmed on the AV1/AV2 function on...

I have a R15-100 DVR, everything worked well on the unit for about 6 monthes until I got "upgraded" to software version 0x1194 on 4/2. Now the unit starting rebooting while watching (not quite at random usually between 7-10 am and 9-10 pm) gets to bar graph says "getting satellite information"...

Hopefully the new cables and connections will fix your problem. I have had similar trouble in the past due to bad connections where the connectors were placed on the coax and also where the connectors screw on to the grounding block (they seemed to loosen up on their own). I am not sure if it...

QoS at the router via MAC address (or on some routers -- the hardwired port #) is definitely the best option. Some routers even allow setting of the maximum upstream/downlink bandwidth to each MAC/ethernet port, but standard QoS prioritization is your best bet, because when high need devices...

Current version??? I awoke this morning to find my R15-100 receiver in setup mode. I went through the setup, and then let the receiver continue restarting. I immediately went to the software version page and noticed that Original version was 0x10AA and Past Upgrade was 0x109D That looks a...

My old RCA receiver (DRD420RE) had a nice feature called "Fetch" where you could enter in many "background" searchs and be alerted by a little flags in the guide next to matching searches if/when matching programs became available. This was helpful to find obscure actors, directors, or single...

I have a very old Hughes receiver that D*tv didn't want back when I cancelled service long after fulfilling my service contract. My question is "Are they forced by the language in their contract to take it back???" My trash disposal company will no longer accept electronic waste and the fuel...

I guess I was talking about signal collecting power, not officially gain. Obviously bigger dishes collect more signal and are more resistant to rain fade. I asked because I notice my "signal strengths" as displayed on my receiver are different for all three satellites coming from a single...

Is there a place I can look up the specifications for the different D* dishes - single 18", 3 LNB, and 5 LNB slimline??? Mainly I am interested in the gain specification of each one. I am trying to get the most signal, to prevent rain/snow fade. Two big questions I have are: Do all 3 (or 5...

They installed the 3 lnb dish in December 2007, maybe because I didn't subscribe to any HD channels yet. I am not set on the position of the dish, but I have decided to wait until the foliage is in before having the dish potentially moved. I think the installer mounted the dish and then...

I recently re-subscribed after a couple year hiatus using cable. One of the big selling points was that local channels for my area were now available via spot beams. Well, the installer put a new 3 lnb dish up at the peak of house's roof and announced that, due to some trees (a few houses...
